Base Doodle Standard Cowl DK Printed Pattern by Pacific Knit Co.
Base Doodle Standard Cowl by Pacific Knit Co. is a simple, versatile pattern and a great introduction to the Doodle system.
This is a printed brochure of the Base Doodle Standard Cowl pattern only. Colourwork charts are not included and can be added separately using any compatible Pacific Knit Co. Doodle Deck.
Part of the Pacific Knit Co. Doodle system, this straightforward cowl gives you an easy framework for building your own design. Use the motifs to create a scene, stack your favourite charts together, or keep the colourwork simple and let the yarn do the talking.
The cowl is worked in the round, beginning with a ribbed lower edge. An optional stranded colourwork section is worked through the body before finishing with ribbing at the top.
Because Pacific Knit Co. Doodle motifs are designed to work across the wider Doodle range, you can mix and match charts from any compatible Doodle Deck and create a completely different cowl each time.
